leros, there are a lot of such examples, when people look at it, it happens within the walls of the verkhovna rada, but we have not seen leros arrange what mykola arranged outside the walls of the verkhovna rada, there are parties in kovit, and he got nothing for it , the business trip to thailand, which did not happen, was excluded, well, i told you, that means, nothing happened, leras was also excluded, who went against his party, against his own. yes, after, after the trip to thailand, yes, after the trip to thailand, volodymyr, please tell me , but now what is it now a fundamental difference, a violation of the law, not only an attack on a former military man, it is simply shameful in the conditions of war, such work of the velir velur restaurant in kovi, it was not a violation of the law, no, well, look, it is a violation of administrative norms, yes, you can say , i'm not going to give up here. evaluation and

violation of legal norms, by the way, just for comparison, boris johnson had such a problem, a similar problem, who paid for the position after that, the position of prime minister, so not immediately, not immediately, therefore, in this case with covid, well, i'm not making excuses here, but i remember there were such discussions around these restrictions during covid. but again, here is this person who believes that there are no restrictions for him, there are no laws, and such a person sooner or later had to be put in place, what do you think, is the delay too little, or does volodymyr zelenskyy now have to make a political statement and, for example, publicly address tyshchenko and ask him to draw up a mandate, look, well, first of all, yarmak has already said about it, yarmak in the statement says that tyshchenko's behavior is not compatible with

the status of a deputy, it means a call to draw up a mandate, yes, in fact it is, yes, it is a call to the deputies and, well, actually to vetyshchenko himself, because the deputies cannot remove him, the norms of the constitution do not allow it, we know , yes, yes, but i know that there is already a collection of signatures or something like that going on in the verkhovna rada, well, when tyshchenko's colleagues, people's deputies, call for him to leave... the verkhovna rada, so, let's say, the work is already done is being conducted, but what to zelensky, if i were his adviser, i would not advise him, and this is such a standard situation, to make statements about tyshchenko, because in this way he will lower himself to the level of this freak, well, i apologize, this freak, this freak he brought him into politics, and this is a political responsibility, rather, let's say , both tyshchenko and many other people. for

popularity, but no one walks along the dnieper with armed men and does not wear handcuffs, no one's bodyguards, he is now being persecuted for this, we are dragging one thing and another, but when he did it, he is now bring to justice, criminal liability, do you believe that this liability will be incurred, well, i know that criminal liability will be incurred, i can tell you, i can cite a lot of examples, when our court processes are very high-profile. corruption cases are still ongoing since 15-16, so with our judicial system, i would not rush. i will give another example, we have a shameful situation with a statute of limitations, 10 years, and the case is handled by the state security bureau, which is a law enforcement agency, and it is not an important matter here, we have corruption cases, it does not matter, which body conducts it, the important thing here is that in our country the biggest inhibition of these cases occurs in the judicial system. system, not at the level of investigation,

in the judicial system, for years, are you talking about corruption now or about all other cases, mykola, it is not about corruption, it is about it now, but i will give you another example, another example, the maidan case, what happened, the statute of limitations has expired, and the verdict on many issues, on many violations, shameful violations of the law during the maidan, i am not ready to discuss with you on such a topic now, well, on a legal topic. that's how i tell you about it, you you say, there will be responsibility or not, knowing our practice, our situation with the judicial system, precisely the judicial system, i do not dare to say now that this responsibility will come, now we see that there is prosecution, and what will happen next, the person with what unfortunately, it can affect us, through connections, it can also affect the judicial system, oh, if mykola can also influence the judicial system, i have one more question, today, today this topic already.

there are other examples when people who are not as famous as him, but with high positions, influence with a lot of money, they influence the judicial system, allow me one more question, because today the deputies already raised this topic, the searches about... what does the fact that the suspicion was handed over to tyshchenko in such rather demonstrative conditions, demonstrative searches with cash, that's it part of the show, what should this cash tell us, why, why, why, you can, you can answer, yes, you can already answer, well, i've been talking about it for a long time, in particular , i've already said it many times on the air with you, in searching us is not a procedural action, but a media one action, for sure... such a situation was with kolomoisky, with a bunch of other people, it was also now, and it was, you know, what unites all these stories is always a show about searches , for some reason, the sbi makes such exits, nothing like that, nothing similar, here you are again focused on the security service of ukraine, the sbu did it, it was done, or, as it were,

bodies that are indirectly related to the president's office and politically depend on them. listen, you are fixated on, you see the hand of the president's office in everything, that's in everything, a journalist should still be a little bit, well, although would try to stay away from flying, well, it ’s just that the search was not a show from the state security bureau or the sbu, it’s true, you can answer, we had shows about searches under yushchenko, under poroshenko, under yanukovych and under zelensky, this is the practice of all law enforcement agencies, you talk about dbr, and i tell you. who did the show with the search of kolomoiskyi and nabu and nabu nabu did it too yes and nabu also did it let me remind you of the situation when tens of thousands of dollars were laid out in front of the tv cameras nabu did it i remember kolomoiskyi's slippers it was definitely

the sbu searches are not there, and nabu is also the first, the first search was not even prepared for the sbu in kolomoisky, so now i cannot translate it. on kolomoisky, not only the sbu, but nabu as well. thank you. thank you very much. volodymyr fosenko, political scientist. we talked about political prospects, including mykola tyshchenko and his affairs. well, i will also remind you that the military reacted in a peculiar way to the incident in dnipro also involving mykola tyshchenko, they signed the shells with tyshchenko's last name and published such pictures on social networks. and so they actually are responded to the beating and detention of an ex-volunteer by tyshchenko's alleged bodyguards. in dnipro, what about tyshchenko, i suspect him, his political prospects, including what the military is thinking now, we will talk about it, yevgeny oropai, an officer of the third battalion of the freedom of the fourth brigade of operational assignment of the national guard, joins the broadcast, rubizh, yevhen, i congratulate you, i i already

mentioned you today at the beginning of the broadcast, but you appeared with us at the end, are you following the tyshchenko case, are your colleagues following the at the front, and of course we are watching, this is such a well-known personality. and is it possible or not to say what you blurted out on the air? no, well, well, you can't swear, you can't, you can't. well, unfortunately, well, unfortunately, the majority of ukrainians know this whole flash mob, especially those who are watching this, this, this recording, well, i think it’s a broiler, such an overfed broiler, botex, and you’re detained, what kind of happened, well, unfortunately, the colleague who was in front of me, he said correctly. that there are a lot of such revealing searches by the sbu and it's not the case moves on, i would really, really like, and most of my fellow citizens would like, that this character is a fairy tale, a ukrainian politician,

a deputy in a cowhide, this is just a fairy tale character who should be closed ostentatiously, that is, he should be punished so that everyone else can see, well, the court it should be, evgeny. it cannot be closed just like that, a fair trial must take place, well , excuse me, the presence of a military special vehicle on a military basis, and well, such searches, which would have taken place in the dnipro, should no longer take place with more than one serviceman, you know how this topic triggers, why this topic triggers all military personnel, because everyone who would defend his country now felt in the place of his son, that is , any military personnel who defends the country could be in the place of the son. does everything for the son - this is the call sign of this serviceman who was twisted by tyshchenko's alleged bodyguards in the dnipro, ugh, this was a serviceman who fought in the kraken, and the kraken is a fairly famous unit, and he really deserves

respect, a lot of respect, that that made him these bulls, tyschenko, well, these are people in uniform, whom we, and any unit , will take with us and storm. it is not a matter of sitting down and storming, you know, yevgeny, some people believe, including political scientists, in fact, with whom we spoke, that it was precisely the factor that it was a military one, and precisely the fact that a lot of discontent... was voiced by the military , and it was the reason why tyshchenko's behavior was reacted to by, for example, the head of the president's office andriy yermak, and that in the end the sbi handed tyshchenko a suspicion, do you think, or could it be this mass discontent on the part of the military that played a key role here? it is undoubtedly the merit of all social networks and lachen and ireland and other tv channels, other media... media people who really responded to this situation, a lot of military people react to this broiler, well, in

a rather negative format, and i think everyone saw those mines, which also record videos from the military, that is, if, well, i personally think, if it was some average civilian, well , maybe even this video did not reach any of the offices of the president there, to yermak, but to of such a massive scale, that is, due to the fact that you affected the honor and dignity of the military and special means... you used, that is, limited the will and conducted a personal search, which if they did not have the authority to do so, and caused such a violent reaction in society, it really, well , it really had a very, very negative impact on the reputation of this character, and you said that he should be closed as a show, you said, and what kind of punishment do you think tyshchenko should suffer? well, full punishment under the article of excess of authority for personal rain. search and but you know that until the court puts an end to it, he can remain

a deputy, so he can remain a deputy, that is why he must be removed from his mandate, he must be deprived of his powers as a deputy, as you can see , while the trial is going on, it is impossible to get rid of him remove the mandate, i don't know how it should happen, but it should be done, because all the people who see this clowning around, what is happening after thailand, that nothing happened, just pointed the finger that this is the last warning, i.e. this person is simple disgrace not only has she disgraced herself, she will disgrace the whole of ukraine on the world stage, that is, people are watching all this, people see what is happening, how much money he has under the sofa, how much he said, how much he did, that is, when he was banned from leaving the territory of ukraine, he served time in thailand, he said that he came there to communicate with the ukrainian union, well, in thailand, well , really, well, well, it’s a scam, we understand it all, they...

i don’t know, it is difficult for me to say, it is very a negative personality that needs to be removed from everywhere, they took away the servant of the people from the party, it was necessary to take away the parliamentary powers in general, it is a pity that we have such a thing, it is a pity, it is a pity that you cannot simply take all the people to vote in the verkhovna rada, well, to all deputies, if a person does not fulfill his powers, why, when, for example, in some state service, a person does not fulfill his powers, he can simply be fired, and you can not pay his salary, why can a military man be reprimanded if he does not fulfill his duties own as duties duties so. why can a deputy not fulfill his duties, behave insolently towards the public service, we,

well, excuse me, there are reprimands, some of us are not paid a salary if you do not fulfill tasks, well, why does this happen, it is some kind of injustice, why is a deputy valued more , than a serviceman who stands and defends the country, who risks his health, his life every day, well, you asked a number of philosophical questions, unfortunately i don't know the answers to them, but eh, but it's good that you asked them, thank you very much evgeny oropai, call sign skif, crew commander, svoboda unmanned aviation complexes, the fourth brigade of operational assignment rubizh was on radio svoboda. that's all for today, i urge you to subscribe to the radio liberty website, like this broadcast, in this way you will support our work and support independent journalism in ukraine. well, we will, of course, follow all the events in ukraine, including the case of mykola tyshchenko, if necessary, we will return to it again in ours. on the air, see you tomorrow.

victoria andriets. before the start of the full-scale war, this girl lived on the left bank kherson region in the skadovsky district in the village of gladivka. the territory was occupied almost in the first days of the russian invasion, and the connection with the girl was cut off almost immediately. where she is now is still unknown. it is quite likely that the child could have been taken to russia, but of course, it is not excluded that victoria may still remain somewhere in the territories not controlled by ukraine. and i really hope so. that with your help the girl will be found. let's take a closer look at her photo. victoria now looks 16-17 years old, she has brown eyes and blond hair. if suddenly someone has seen the girl or knows where she might be, immediately call us on the hotline of the magnolia children's search service at the short number 11630. calls from all

ukrainian mobile operators are free. you can also contact us. with the help of the telegram bot of the children's search service. i also want to remind you that we are not stopping the search for 17-year-old serhiy samoilov, who also disappeared almost in the first days of the full-scale war on the territory of the occupied donetsk region in the city of mariupol. his mother said that life in the city became unbearable and the situation worsened by the hour. from the bombings, the family hid in the basement, but the shelling was far from the only one.

at that time, 15-year-old serhiy samoilov was bothered by the lack of internet access, which is why the boy wanted to leave mariupol. he was very interested in computers, studied programs, tried to develop them, created servers, and why did he actually leave home, because there was no connection or internet at home, it is clear that there were problems with water and food, he was going to go to the side pokrovsk serhii planned to go to mother's friend in pokrovsk, this is also the donetsk region, about 200 km from mariupol, and the boy's family did not dare to leave the house, so serhiy left alone. on march 6 at 4:00 in the evening, my grandmother and i did not let him go, because there was a lot of shooting around, and to be honest, we had nothing to eat or drink then,

it was very scary, he took a backpack with him, it had a computer in it , dressed the way young people dress, i say, seryozha, come on, i thought he was walking around the house and came back, and seryozha вышел из домой already, когда он ушёл, я... so far, only one thing is known: serhii never got to pokrovsk, the boy did not return home either, and no one knows where he is now. serhiy's mother still lives in mariupol and does not lose hope of finding her son. meanwhile , serhiy's father, who has been living separately for a long time and is now in the territory controlled by ukraine, is doing everything possible on his part to find serhiy. he suggests that the boy could be taken to russia. but it is possible that he is still somewhere in donetsk region, that's why i appeal to the residents of the temporarily occupied territory, who may see this program on

social networks. look carefully at the photo of the child. if anyone knows where serhiy may be, do not delay and dial the short number of the magnolia children's search service from any mobile operator, 11630. calls to the hotline from any ukrainian mobile operator are free. if there is a sudden absence. write to the chatbot child search service in telegram. any information is important. we 've created a resource where you can report any crime against a child. in any city, at any time. just go to the site and report, and we will launch all possible mechanisms to punish the criminal. stopcrime ua.

i welcome voice of america in ukrainian and our program chas time. my name is ostap yarysh. the international criminal court has issued an arrest warrant against former russian defense minister sergei shuigu and chief of the general staff of russia valery gerasimov. they are accused of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity. commenting on this decision, the spokesman for the us state department, matthew miller, said that russian troops are committing atrocities during the illegal invasion of ukraine, and they should be held accountable for these atrocities. miller emphasized that washington supports international investigations of russia's crimes in ukraine, in particular those currently conducted by the international criminal court. meanwhile, my colleague oleksiy kovalenko spoke with an expert on the creation of an international tribunal regarding russia. jennifer trehan, in her opinion, is, in addition to shoigu and gerasimov, an international criminal the court can also announce the same charges against other officials of russia. jennifer, what

does the decision of the international criminal court mean regarding new arrest warrants to establish justice in ukraine. we don't have details on the allegations yet, but they definitely relate to the russian attacks. to the ukrainian electricity industry and likely damage, this actually led to arrest warrants of this level. in the short term, i don't think arrests can be expected, but it is unknown if there are also additional hidden statements tied to to these arrest warrants, there may be other persons whose cases the court is considering on the same charges. it will be difficult to bring these people physically to the hague, the icc does not have a procedure for trials in absentia, so the accused must be present there. fixing by the court the inadmissibility of such attacks and of course, hostilities continue, and this is also the targeting of civilian objects, they are also accused of crimes against humanity.

given the fact that the accused are unlikely to travel to a country from which they can be extradited for arrest, which realistic chances of arresting them? well, the two defendants may indeed not be traveling, as you point out, but they are not the only ones whose cases the court is hearing, there are details in the cases that are not disclosed, and the court may withhold not only the details of the case, but also the other charges filed, so it's quite likely that other people of lower rank are being prosecuted on the same or different charges, i think there are people who don't know they're being prosecuted in court, so there's a better chance. that they will travel and the court will detain them, you know, the fact that it is difficult finding people persecuted by the court does not mean that the court should not continue its work, it is about upholding the rule of

law. if it deters anyone, be it the russian military or others who cooperate with them, it proves that it can deter others from committing war crimes, so i don't think the court should pay attention to the fact that it's difficult to detain someone and bring them to the hague . that's why they press charges. i have always said that there was a time when a tribunal was created for yugoslavia and no one thought that karadzic or mladic or milosevic would be arrested. it is not meant that the tribunal did not have to hear the allegations. arrests were eventually made. do you expect new arrest warrants against the russian leadership or putin himself, who are responsible for the aggression against ukraine? the international criminal court will not be able to issue arrest warrants for the crime of aggression. we already have a warrant for putin's arrest regarding

the deportation of children, but this is not a crime. the negotiations are still ongoing, we do not yet know how they will end, but i am optimistic, i think that there is a core group of states that were convinced that the tribunal should be international, i think this approach has failed, there are those who say that it should be done by a ukrainian court, so now we are investigating, looking for something in the middle that will be acceptable to all countries, i... i look at it optimistically and i believe that a tribunal with internationally acceptable standards is needed. this is the assessment of new york university international law professor jennifer trehan about the arrest warrants for serhiy shuigu and valery gerasimov issued by the international criminal court in the hague. more about it also read in ukrainian on the voice of america website. meanwhile, ukraine and moldova have started formal negotiations on joining

the european union. the president of the eu council, charles michel , called this moment historic and emphasized that it was made possible thanks to enormous efforts. what does this step mean for ukraine and how long will it take to become a full member of the european union? we will talk more about this with our european correspondent bohdan tsyupan. bohdan, i congratulate you. the main question, which probably needs to be clarified now, is what is the significance of this bohdan's step, and what is its historicity, as charles michel says about it. this. step is only the first on a long way, so it in itself does not have, so to speak, decisive importance, but it is a date that we will remember and count other stages from it, as, for example, we count the beginning of ukraine's application to join the of the european union, which was submitted on february 28, 2022. four

days after the start of the full-scale russian invasion of ukraine, it was a very significant event, a very symbolic event, and immediately, later that year, the european union granted ukraine the status of a candidate for membership in the european union, this is also a very indicative, symbolic and important step at this stage, because of these steps... through, in particular, many years of negotiations on joining the european union , all the states of the european union passed, except for six of the founding countries, except for belgium, the netherlands, luxembourg, as well as france, germany and italy, all the rest, 21 countries that are currently in the european union have gone through this stage, through accession negotiations, which...

and have no time frame at all, they can last for several years, can last for more than 10 years, in some cases they never ended, for example in the case of turkey, they started but did not end, they have a de facto freeze and turkey is now not close to membership of the european union, but so this is a very, very important stage. how long can this process take for ukraine as a whole, and is there any possible clear list of obligations or requirements that ukraine must fulfill for this? there is a list, and the ukrainian government has it, and, in particular , today at the meeting in luxembourg, obviously that the parties agreed.
